You shouldn't need a breaker bar

I hope the dealer doesn't use an air gun for the sump plug

I was lifting the engine on its mountings as I was trying to release the sump plug.. It was ridiculously tight... My only assumption was it had been put on with an air gun or long bar as it was impossible to move with a 8" ring spanner..
